The giant Salmonflies of the Western mountains are legendary for their proclivity to elicit consistent dry-fly action and ferocious strikes.

I like this one. Glacial river, taiga, tundra, and the perpetual ice cover of a massive high ridge dozens of miles away in the Wrangell Mountains.

This dun emerged from a mature nymph on my desk. Unfortunately its wings didn't perfectly dry out.

27" brown trout, my largest ever. It was the sub-dominant fish in its pool. After this, I hooked the bigger one, but I couldn't land it.

My friends at Trout Unlimitedâ€™s Madison-Gallatin chapter (MGTU) have asked me to share an important message with you.

We are proud to be partners with MGTU doing the hard work required to conserve, protect and restore the coldwater fisheries and watersheds we all love in Southwest Montana.

And, as a fellow angler and someone who shares your passion for wild trout and the fragile places where they thrive, Iâ€™m encouraging you to join us in supporting MGTUâ€™s TroutFest 2020 and its online silent auctionâ€“ MGTU Banquet Online It is the one and only time they ask for help throughout the year.

Thank You and Tight Lines!
